Security and trust with Trusted Platform Modules

Description

Secure hardware is being tasked with enabling higher levels of security and trust in devices, providing a potential cornerstone for the security of the modern IT infrastructure.

In this event we first introduce the Trusted platform module (TPM), and how the current security research seeks to use it for high levels of user and device based security through refined trust.

In the second part we take a closer look at the TPM in action. In this session we investigate a peculiar security setting found in one of the most prominent secure boot loading processes (Bitlocker), and we’ll talk about why this can be a grand example of “too much trust”.
